If there is any nation that knows about oppression, it’s Poland. These past couple hundred years have seen that nation go through a ton of shit. In 1795 there nation’s land was divided amongst larger European powers, there nation reduced to territories of larger states. It wasn’t until World War I that they finally regained independence, only to be conquered by Nazis within decades of regaining that independence. Then, when World War II ended, Russia replaced their government with a communist puppet, and they had to spend most of the twentieth century under de facto communist Russian control. So many lives were lost, and so many dreams crushed under the feet of invading soldiers and ruthless dictators. Calling a Pole a Nazi is like calling an African American a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

What's funny is that I wouldn't even put it past people these days, even if they couldn't be more different. Call of Duty, and most shooters, are not only highly stylized, but very individualistic and customizable. You get custom markings, weapons, attachments and you operate on your own, moving throughout the map with little real cohesion with your team. Meanwhile, in actual combat, soldiers rarely move on their own. They usually operate within a Fireteam, Squad, Platoon or Company framework, with the leaders of each unit coordinating with each other and their superiors to achieve a designated goal without mindless destruction and chaos. The funniest thing is you don't even necessarily need to be a soldier to learn that. All it takes is doing a bit of reading on actual military tactics.
